Our ears are polluted with the kind of news they make us hear every day. They are using the emptiness of our heads and the openness of our ears to fill our minds with useless news that disturb us mentally and psychologically and fill us with evil, doubt, fear and uncertainty about the present and the future.
Our eyes are also filled with pictures that kill creativity, focus and concentration within us. They succeeded to make our brains and eyes be stored with violent pictures and meaningless images. People spend more time following others with their eyes at home, in the street, at work, in private and in public.
People sit on the pavement and walk in the street for the only purpose of watching the nakedness of others while they forget about their own. They cannot keep their eyes from watching what is not theirs and what should not be seen. Thus, heads that do not control their eyes will always be controlled and enslaved.
Our mouths are just eating machines. They are used to feed and satisfy only our teeth while forgetting that they are also means to communicate, to talk, to teach, to advice and to taste the beauty of life. You are not only what you eat, you are also what you read and what you speak.
We use our mouths to talk about our friends and about our enemies. We talk only about the negative sides of life and we invite to our TVs and radio only those who talk about rape, war, crime, violence, racism, accidents, terrorism and psychopaths.
We have marginalized, intentionally or unintentionally, those who talk about love, hope, life and birth. We close their mouths while giving the opportunity for those who spoil and corrupt our ears and eyes and minds with their negativism and absurdity.
We listen only to those are drunk, addicted, sick, raped, imprisoned, marginalized, tortured, humiliated, illiterate, unschooled and unwanted. We give the floor to talk in public only to those who destroy with their mouths and words and who spread hatred, revenge and violence while we avoid those who build, educate, enlighten, empower, energize, and guide.
Our job is to use our ears, eyes and mouths positively as they are the sources of what we think, believe and feel. Otherwise, what's the point of having a mind if you don't use it? What the point of having a heart if it doesn't beat and having ears if they don't hear and having hands if they don't work and having feet if they don't walk?
Certainly, the hands that cut beautiful and sweet flowers are more than the hands that cultivate them and water them. But still, we have to protect the flower of goodness inside our inner gardens and do not let those dirty hands touch them or affect them.
When we let them, they will ruin the beauty within us and they will blacken our sight and fill our brains with polluted ideas and thoughts. That's what they want and desire and that’s what we should not let them do.
